For 47 years, MEND has opened its doors to the most vulnerable members of the community and have become one of the most comprehensive and empowering poverty relief agencies in Los Angeles County.
MEND is an anchor institution with the largest food bank in San Fernando Valley, medical, dental and vision clinics, clothing, homeless care services, as well as support and care through case management services.
The emergency bridge loan provided much needed cash that enabled MEND to continue providing these services during the most critical winter months.
